Default granada hubs

Does anyone know the diameter of granada front hubs and what is the diameter of the sierra front hubs, iv read on here that if using the granada hubs they need turning down to fit the sierra uprights. The idea is my donor is a granada cosworth so i will be using the bigger brakes on it, but i have sierra uprights and the mushrooms for them.

Is there another way?

Are you wanting to stay 5 stud? or just use the granada barkes on the sierra nuckle?

My donor was also a Cosworth Granada but I'm using the Granada uprights and will alter the wishbones design to suit although I don't think there is too much difference (he said hopefully).

To use the granada brakes on sierra knuckles you will need to use Scorpio or mondeo 24V disks and have 11mm of spacing between the knuckle and the caliper mount. You will also need to drill the mounting holes in the knuckle to 12MM.
